Kolkata's winning streak has broke after defeated by Chennai. Kolkata was defeated by seven wickets. Many people found the strange reason given by captain Shreyas Iyer after the defeated.
Kolkata's winning streak has broke after defeat by Chennai. Kolkata were defeated by seven wickets at Chipok Stadium on Monday. It was their first loss of the season. However, after the defeat, captain Shreyas Iyer said that the pitch changed directly after the power play. That's why he couldn't get enough runs on the scoreboard!
After Chennai's victory, Shreyas could not speak to the screams of the audience. "We played great on the power play," Koo said. It started very well. But in the next round I lost one wicket after another. We didn't understand the character of the pitch well after the power play. Running also became very difficult. Chennai knows this environment well. They said their strategy."
Shreyas admitted that their batters failed on the hard pitch. Said, “It was not very easy to play big shots from the first ball. We wanted to build the innings slowly. Couldn't use that strategy properly. After the power play, the character of the wicket changed so much that I could not catch it. At one point it seemed that 160-170 runs would be done. But when you lose the rhythm, everything goes awry.”
Shreyas said, they will have to go back to the drawing board and find out where they went wrong. KKR's away match is over for now. After that they will play five consecutive home matches. Which starts with the Lucknow match on Sunday.
